Having had a 1987 whirl pool power clean dishwasher in my kitchen for almost 35 years and I had a KDSS 20 KitchenAid for 10 years it was an interesting comparison the KitchenAid was more loading friendly and overall did a good job, but they were always gimbals on top of things in the top rack and the stinky filter in the bottom was always a nuisance, the whirlpool clean better because of the heated wash the guaranteed 155° wash and final rinse out to the KitchenAid.
Good analysis of the Kitchenaid in Maytag reverse rack dishwasher Dan

Using the Pots and Pans cycle on the Maytag would cause the "Heavy" wash cycle to become a rinse cycle, then the detergent door would open for the "Normal" cycle. It would stop leaking once cleaned though. In the Maytag, only one cup closed and the detergent in the other one eventually would fall down into the tub and allow some to build up around the lower door seal, eventually causing leaks. The detergent cups were a better design in the KA being able to independently close both cups plus add additional detergent. The racks were more flexible for loading awkward items on the tall side. The pump design was simpler and more durable than Maytags. The tiny jets in the wash arms (particularly the top wash arm) would clog regularly (never a problem in the KA). It also prevented large items being positioned down there. The lower rack had a cutout for the tower of the lower spray arm which ate up some real estate. The lack of a full size wash arm under the top rack hindered performance of items that were heavily soiled though. The full size upper spray arm guaranteed a yibble free top rack every time, all of the time. The Maytag had a better filter (at the time of this commercial) and caught smaller items without redepositing them, also much better at self cleaning. Having owned both, they both have their positives and negatives.
